Default Pic request: your pinion angle..

I just installed a UMI Adjustable trans mount torque arm, and UMI adjustable panhard bar.. I can't get a pinion angle finder until next week. I forgot to order one. I had to bring the adjustment nearly all the way in for the bolt holes to line up, and stock was supposed to be 0 degrees which was more extended out.. Just looking for a picture of your adjusted pinion angle to get me "CLOSE" to where I need to be until I can find a angle finder.. Thanks

agreed! You will not be able to see by a pic. You can be set on -2, turn it just a tad and it will be set on +10 lol. Its very meticulous. But an angle finder cost a few bucks at home depot like said.

Ok well at first I was unaware of an angle finder at a hardware store. Thought it might have been a specific piece. So I got one of the needle magnetic angle finders from Lowes. At first I was at a +6 angle, and then several turns of the wrench with a -1 driveshaft and a -1 rearend angle, giving me a -2. I'm good. I'd like it verified on a digital angle finder though to be 100% accurate..
